I was born and raised in the East Bay, and my hero and role model growing up happened to be my own Kaiser Permanente pediatrician! I ventured to sunny Southern California and attended UC Irvine School of Medicine, where I completed my MD. I returned to the East Bay for my combined pediatric residency at Kaiser Permanente in Oakland and masters in public health at UC Berkeley. After spending a year as chief resident at Oakland Medical Center, I am thrilled to continue to serve my patients here in the East Bay at Pinole Medical Center.
